2024-10-29 19:42:56The next day, Nieven went to the nursery to check on his patients, a cook who burnt his hand and a pregnant fairy. He gave them the herbs he spent the night mixing for them.
"This burn is very serious so it will take time to heal," he said, examining the ogre's hand. "Just make sure not to expose your skin to the sun."
"Alright." the cook sighed.
"How about the baby? Does he still kick your belly?" the healer smiled at the female.
"He is already strong," the fairy laughed. "I cannot wait to give birth."
"One more month and we will welcome him among us." Nieven smiled. "Just be patient and rest well please."
"I heard the king has changed lately," the cook spoke. "The maids said that he is more smiley and relaxed."
"Oh, right! He even wished me a good morning earlier!" the fairy exclaimed.
Nieven rubbed his chin. "I wonder what is going on," he mumbled. "I spend most of my time in my study, this is why I don't know what is happen

When Jimmy opened his eyes, the only thing he saw was that the room was different from his. It looked bigger and brighter. The walls were decorated with beautiful and strange paintings where multicoloured flowers were moving and shining. He felt an arm around his waist and then he remembered how the duke insisted on him to spend the night in his chambers. He felt his warm breath against his neck and the nice scent of lavender coming from his long hair.Jimmy nervously stared at him, he looked more calm and peaceful than he usually was. He could see how long his lashes were now that his eyes were closed and how thin his lips were. Nylian was one of the most beautiful males he had ever seen in his entire life, and also the second one to make him feel so confused— after the king of course.Speaking of him, now he finally had the time to think about what happened the day before. He was excited to spend the afternoon with the king but he didn't expect all those surpri
DIAMOND Chapter XXII
After the duke left, he took advantage of his absence to open the book about the Emius once again. He was dying to understand what the purple colour he saw on Taegen's eyes meant.As he was flipping through the big book, he read a lot of interesting things he didn't know about these strange creatures. The one that struck him the most was the fact that the Emius are the most sensitive creatures when it comes to a breakup or the loss of someone very dear.It hurt him to learn that the king suffered a lot after the death of his wife. From what he read, they lock themselves in a dark space for a long time without eating or drinking. They move away from their loved ones, which is why his relationship with his friends was no longer the same and most importantly, it's hard for them to love again. This made the boy think a lot. Did this mean that what he told him the day before wasn't out of love? Did it mean that he only got confused?Jimmy read a few more pages, but t

Nylian came back to Velvus during the afternoon. Prince Ayas was declared innocent but the case was still not closed. The fairy's murder was still a mystery to them.“Jimmy!” he called right after he stepped inside the mansion.Jimmy absent only for a few hours and the duke already missed the young man. “Jimmy!”He took off his coat and headed to the library, knowing he spent most of his time there. He opened the door with a large smile on his face, but it was empty. He raised an eyebrow and walked to his room. Jimmy wasn't there either.“Your Grace,” the butler bowed to him. He looked quite nervous and disturbed.“Do you know where Jimmy is?”“Your Grace...” Karlyle rubbed the back of his neck.The Duke sighed. “Karlyle, where is Jimmy?”The butler pressed his lips, “I am sorry your grace, I should not have let him go out.”“What d

Jimmy was sitting in the dark dungeon, his face hidden between his knees. If he was scared months ago when he was jailed in Taegen's castle, this time he was terrified.This castle was nothing welcoming. The interior was dark, only small candles lit up the corridors. There was a horrible smell of mould, proof that it wasn't being taken care of.The creatures inside were terrifying. The majority resembled the one he attacked in the forest the other day.Jimmy stared at the bars and sighed, remembering what the Prince told him earlier.“What do you want from me?” he asked.Adalis sat on his throne and smirked, “There are two things that I want from you.”Jimmy gulped, “What are they?”“First of all, my brother's unhappiness,” the Prince said. “Oh, you don't know how much I cannot stand seeing him smiling.”The boy frowned, “What does it have to do with me?” he asked.Adalis started laughing, “He doesn't know!” he told his guards wh

Jimmy was sitting on the floor, watching the moonlight from the small window at the top of the wall. He would jump every time he heard footsteps. He thought it was Adalis coming to shave his hair, but it always ended up being a guard.It had been a long time since he felt so lonely. It reminded him of his life on earth, he was always alone, without friends, without family and anyone at his side. His arrival at Fantasia changed the whole stream of his life. He met creatures who were very friendly and caring to him like Ruvyn and Nieven, attentive and protective like Nylian, confusing and mysterious like Taegen.His thoughts turned to the voice that surprised him from time to time. He had no idea who it was, but he felt like he had a strong connection with that woman.“Who are you?” he whispered, hoping she would answer him. But it seemed like her voice appeared only to put him in a strange situation like this one.“I can't trust you anymo
DIAMOND Chapter XXVI
In a fraction of seconds, the atmosphere inside the castle changed. Men screamed in pain clutching their grievous wounds as the Dark Creatures attacked their companions. Adalis was watching his knights beating his enemies so easily, sitting comfortably on his throne.In a few minutes, the centaurs and ogres were already on the ground, burned from head to toe because of the poisonous liquid that the Tentaculios and Leonus threw.Taegen and his friends were currently mastering their swords. They did their best to beat the knights and avoid being burned by one of the sticky creatures. The king felt responsible for the death of his subjects, as well as the wounded creatures. He felt guilty for summoning them to fight on his side knowing that his brother was unbeatable.He tried to find a way to escape to find Jimmy and finish it once and for all, but there was no way to get behind the half-naked knights.Their leader mumbled something in a strange language and

Taegen turned his head and saw the Dark Creatures screaming and transforming into dust. The pumas were groaning and hiding their face from the light. He took advantage of this situation to escape from the main hall and climb the stairs.The light was slowly fading as the screams stopped. He could see clearer now, the corridors were narrow, only portraits of Adalis hung on the wall, still with the same dark colour in the eyes.“Diamond!” he called, hoping he would get an answer from the young man. He opened room after room, finding nothing but empty beds and dusty chairs. He heard loud footsteps, he cursed when he felt someone following him. He turned and saw two knights with a Leonus running toward him. He pressed his lips and ran escaping from them. He climbed other stairs and drew another sword to get ready to fight them. He kept running until he arrived at the top of the castle when he had no way to escape from. He stopped and faced them, pointing the sw

Taegen was playing the piano. The melody that reigned around the garden was so sad that even trees and plants moved slowly with the rhythm.All the servants looked at their King through the windows of the castle. Some cried because they did not want him to lose his smile again when he finally regained it after many years.Ruvyn was looking at him from his room, his head rested on the wall. He was afraid that Taegen would experience the same sadness and sorrow he had experienced after Kythaela's death. The King was dancing his fingers over the keys of the piano, thinking of the last look that Jimmy had given him a week before.After leaving Adalis's castle, Nylian took Jimmy's hand and took him away from Taegen. The young man had tears in his eyes, he just wanted to say goodbye or give the King the last hug, but the duke refused to see them together again. Taegen thought he was right, he didn't want Jimmy to be in danger again because of him. The further he is, the

The King couldn't wait for a single more second to capture his husband's lips. He cupped his cheek and pulled him closer to him.Their lips moved slowly, savouring every second, every moment.Taegen pushed his lover gently on the bed, surprising him not only because it was very intimate, but also because the dark sky above them was full of stars that shone as bright as his diamond hair.Their kiss could not stop. There was so much love that they could not stop expressing it.The king removed his shoes and Jimmy's before he put himself above him. He placed his hands on each side of his lover's head and took a moment to contemplate his brown eyes before kissing him again.Jimmy put his hands on his shoulders and responded to his kiss. His hands moved to the King's chest, he looked at him nervously and started unbuttoning the indigo blue shirt, surprising him.Taegen smiled and let him get rid of the cloth.

One month later...The Duke and his lover were spending a peaceful evening in the garden as they always did.Nylian was resting his head on Jeyrha's thigh while both of them read a book.The young knight was playing with Nylian's long hair. He loved it because it makes him feel at ease."Your grace." the butler interrupted. "Your tea.""Thank you Karlyle.""A letter just arrived." the blue-haired added. "From the castle.""Oh?" Nylian hurried to open the envelope.He widened his eyes and felt tears burning his eyes. "We are invited to Jimmy and the King's wedding!""They are getting married?" Jeyrha smiled. "How come we didn't know about it.""Jimmy accompanied his parents to Rosa and I did not have a chance to talk to him," Nylian said. "About time! I am so happy they are finally getting married.""When is the wedding?""In five days.""Shall I prepare your outfits and gifts, your grac

They left the water, running and laughing happily. Taegen pulled his lover against his chest and hugged him again. He kissed his head and thanked him for coming into his life.Jimmy refused to hear him thanking him for that because his travel to Fantasía was the best thing that happened in his life. He made friends, he met his parents, fell in love and found himself. It was a happy moment for him too."I should introduce you to my mother," he said."Of course I shall meet her." Taegen nodded. "But first, I need to dry myself and wear new clothes. I should be presentable to meet your parents."Jimmy giggled. "I have to change too." he smiled."Alright, then in less than two hours I will knock at your house's door.""Hum." Jimmy rubbed his chin. "How about we visit the castle? I'd like to see Ruvyn and Nieven. Can we?"Taegen chuckled. "Diamond." he caressed the younger's cheek. "Never ask me if you can come to the castle, it is yo

The next morning, Jimmy woke up and washed behind the house. He chose a nice outfit and made himself presentable to meet the King.He ate a small part of the leftover chocolate cake his mother made and drank a cup of milk. He took a look at his parents who were sleeping peacefully on the mattress.The night before, Ayasinsisted on spending the night with his family. It was awkward and a little uncomfortable, but Jimmy was more than happy to finally have both his biological parents by his side.Before he closed the door after him, he heard his mother whisper, "Good luck son." He gave her a smile and left the cottage.He wanted to meet Taegen and try to make him remember their love for the last time. If he succeeded, he would stay obviously, but if he fails he would accompany his parents to Rosa and never see him again.The walk to the lake was long and tiring. He took a little time to rest on a rock and drink the water he brought with him.His

"What?!" Jimmy gave his mother a horrified look. "He's...he's my father?!"She nodded with a smile, "He is the man I talked to you about.""This...this is the sweet and gentleman you talked about." Jimmy could not believe her words. "I swear to god..." he pressed his lips and clenched his fists. "YOU CHEATED ON MY MOTHER!" he shouted at him."I-" the prince rubbed the back of his neck nervously. "I was just-""Don't say a word," Jimmy mumbled coldly. "I can't believe you are my father.""No wonder I felt a strong connection between us." Ayasrubbed his chin. "I knew there was something special about you.""No, no." Jimmy shook his head. "We're not changing subjects here. You're a cheater! You don't deserve her.""What? I was just...I was just angry and desperate because she disappeared so suddenly.""Excuses." Jimmy crossed his arms."But it is true!"Ruby started laughing, looking at her husband and son bickering

Jeyrha was helping his lover get dressed for the night's big event. He chose a light blue shirt for him because he thought it would be a good idea to make him wear something that is not just white.He helped him put on the nocturne blue jacket and stood in front of him, smiling widely, admiring his masterpiece. "You look absolutely gorgeous," he said.Nylian smiled and kissed his cheek. "Thank you, dear.""Do not kiss me so suddenly." Jeyrha groaned and pushed him against the wall. "I would want to do bad things to you," he whispered in his ear.The elf bit his lower lip and placed his hands around his neck. "How about you wait until we go back home? You can do whatever you want."Jeyrha hummed and took his cold hand to kiss it gently. "You don't know how much I have been waiting for this moment. I am so glad you healed well and fast."The Duke smiled, "Thank you my dear for staying by my side.""No, do not say that." Jeyrha shook his

The next morning, Jimmy and his mother had breakfast together in the cottage. She hugged him tightly and watched him leave the house, heading to the castle.He decided to leave his fear and insecurities behind and face the King no matter what happens.He left the forest and found himself in the village. The creatures greeted him with wide smiles and congratulate him for winning the battle. It warmed his heart to see so many of them thanking him and offering him flowers and sweets. He really loved Fantasía. His mother was right, it was his home indeed."Jimmy?" a familiar voice made him stop and turn around."Your grace!" he ran to Nylian and hugged him, "I am so glad you're alright."He greeted Jeyrha and thanked him for taking care of the Duke."Where were you, Jimmy? We looked for you everywhere!""I was transferred to the other world," Jimmy said. "I needed to know the truth about my past."Nylian nodded and ruffled t

"Here, Karlyle made some tea for you." Jeyrha placed the tray on the bedside and sat next to the Duke. "How are you feeling?""Much better." Nylian smiled and held his lover's hand. "The hours I slept helped me a lot.""That's a relief then." the knight pushed Nylian's white hair behind his ear and stared at his sapphire blue eyes, "Breathtaking," he whispered.Nylian laughed and placed a kiss on his lips, "Do you like me that much?""No." Jeyrha shook his head. "Liking you would be an understatement." he smiled and kissed him back. He placed his hand behind his neck and the other rested gently on his waist. He was careful not to touch his wounds.The Duke moaned quietly when he felt the heat reign over his body. He found it incredible how the intimate connection between two creatures who shared the same desire could do wonders.He untied the knight's long dark hair and ran his fingers all along the locks without taking his lips from his

Jimmy fell to the ground and groaned with pain once again. "Damn it!" he frowned and rubbed his bottom. "I'm sick of these painful landings!"He heard someone laughing behind.He quickly turned around and found the gorgeous red-haired woman staring at him with a big smile.He looked around him and realized he's in the dungeon where all the Gemmas were jailed before Adalis' death.The woman approached him slowly and said, "I knew you would be back."Jimmy gulped and stared at her, "M-mother?"She nodded and opened her arms. Jimmy didn't hesitate to run and hug her tightly."You don't know how happy I am." he heard her crying, her face hidden in his neck.His heart ached when he saw her sad and worried face. "Don't cry mother," he whispered and wiped her tears with his thumbs."Where are the others?" he asked, realizing that there were no more people in the dungeon."They went back home." she smiled.
